EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF SCOTT 519 ON A COVER -- REPORTED TO BE THE SECOND EARLIEST KNOWN USAGE.

This stamp was created in 1917 when a small excess supply of the imperforate Scott 344 was returned by the New York City post office to the Bureau for credit. Rather than issue the credit, the Bureau perforated the sheets and returned them to the New York City post office for public sale. The earliest recorded usage is on October 10, two days prior to this.

A small quantity of 1c Rotary Press stamps was perforated 11 at the end of 1922, using remainder sheets from the earlier printings that were normally perforated in 10 gauge or 11/10 compound gauge. Its existence as a Perf 11 variety was discovered in 1936, and the stamp received its Scott Catalogue listing in 1938.

This is reported to be the only known example of Scott 544 with selvage. (Image)
